Having deemed the prote♎st as admissible, the stewards revealed that “a n🎉umber of track limit infringements had not previously been referred to the stewards for potential penalty”. 

The stewards have determined⛦ that “some of these infringements warranted a penalty that was not previously applied when the Prꦦovisional Classification was published”. 

They concluded that “these penalties will be refꩵlected in the Final Classifica🙈tion”. 

F1’s governing body the FIA had already admitted it was unable to review “well over 1200” poss🐻ible track limits offences that took place during Sunda🌄y’s 71-lap race. 

Drivers including Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz were hit with five-s🅷econd penalties for abusing track limits.

Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Mercedes’ George Russell were the only drivers to avoid being pinged with at least one infringeওment relating to track limit♉s.
